    Nicely done. Gotta love it when the plan starts to come together.
    2017 25 taps on buckets got me hooked 1 gallon of sweet
    2018 51 taps on 3/16 tubing/ DIY oil tank evaporator 8.5gallons finished
    2019 60 taps 7 gallons finished ended season short
    2020 New 2x4 divided pan ready to get away from the headache that is steam table pans
    2021 off year due to pandemic and projects
    2022 back at it

    I’m getting ready to build an OTE myself and I like your design. The flue pipe is mounted to the rear of the tank? How big is your flat pan? Did you have it made or buy it? If bought where?
